• The principle of Fonecope iPhone Data Recovery

Some data that has been accidentally deleted too long or has been frequently written to disk or memory, that is difficult to recover because the data block may have been overwritten by the system.

According to the storage principle of the iOS database, we did not implement a real deletion after deleting some data on the phone. It’s just that the database has executed the "delete" command, and the data is transferred to the database and hidden, so we can’t see it in the directory. And this iPhone photo recovery software can rescan it from your iPhone, and help you retrieve back the photos from camera roll and photo stream.
